Thank you for your helpful reply.
As you would imagine with non optional Covid home schooling I began to see the pros and cons of traditional in school peer learning compared to focussed and properly done home schooling. I agree about the duplication inefficiencies of mass learning especially with many children of mixed educational abilities in the classroom with a single teacher if no additional teacher assistant. However being born and growing up in a large family myself with several siblings and now a small family of three with just one child myself and spouse I can see how children would benefit also from the social interactivity life social skills, peer learning, friendship bonds and tribulations, teamwork, competitive spirit etc.
I am seeing more positives in home schooling but it takes dedication to do properly and efficiently to ensure your child is tutored in a bespoke tailored manner which can potentially be infinitely more advantageous than being a another little fish in the sea as compared to the only shark in the tank at home.
Owing to personal time and energy if not ability as flexi working from home simultaneously with home schooling even one young primary school child, especially in a multilingual immersive family, is a challenging undertaking! I have a respectable higher education academic grounding as prior to be yet another professional mum in the City I had to pass various post graduate professional qualifications in addition to previous advance degrees from Oxbridge and other world leading universities - so I know I am not particularly lacking in brain power (usually!) However conversely young children basics such as English phonetics which I never learnt as a native speaker is not particularly elementary to swot up on and teach. I recall (if memory serves me correctly) back in the day English language was not taught as it is these days using this seemingly strange sounds building blocks system. Mathematics is fine but again much of the unused basics is forgotten. The advent of mobile technology does allow the brain to relax as a disadvantage of having much information and answers available at the touch of a few buttons online with a mobile and AI "smart" speaker etc.
I can see how some principles of Finnish and Scandinavian style hands on forest schooling is popular as I understand home schooling is not always staying at home but indeed on site activities and explorational trips like museums visits, farms and forest schooling to bring the subject matter to life which is rare in many lesser paid for state schools with resourcing limitations.
I will go back to the drawing board and have a good think as to progress of child in school and if time and energy allows may consider switching more to home schooling. My child is at a classic so called better local hard to enter state primary school which is a accepted state to eight affair and feeder to several highly respected fee paying senior private sector schools. So I will see if I can possibly consider doing more home tutoring and especially continue when Covid safe for all the usual extracurricular enrichment activities which many of the children do some outside of school such as equestrian, ballet grading and music properly. I do not want to be a classic tiger mum as luckily this is not the norm outside of East Asia and certain select Jewish communities etc yet!
Thank you again for the many good points you provided!
